As with most financial services firms, Pimco Europe pays the rank and file very good money, but saves the mind-boggling amounts for its elite. Last year, the highest paid individual at its London office earned £22m. Its seven directors each earned an average of £7.7m.

If you’re thinking of working there, the bad news is that Pimco doesn’t appear to be expanding. Total headcount at Pimco in London remained stable at 285 people between 2012 and 2013. And despite reports that Virginie Maisonneuve would be hiring for Pimco’s new equities business, the number of registered individuals at Pimco’s London operation fell from 143 in January 2013 to 126 in November.

Nonetheless, there are jobs going at Pimco’s London business now. The fund is advertising for 12 people, including an MBA intern (account and product management), a portfolio associate (to support a ‘generalist portfolio manager’), a portfolio risk manager (to ‘review portfolio composition and concentrations, including identifying outliers in risk terms,’) and a structured products modeller (a PhD in finance is a plus).
